I have you at 18.3/7.5.

You are winning at a rate of: -8.63BB/100

Over 441 hands.

Ouch, pretty awful. Ok, what does 18.3 / 7.5 mean? Obviously as you can see from my stats, I'm quite the losing player, which is why I have interest in this poker edge thing, looking for anything to help me. I make a lot of mistakes post flop, I'm pretty tight preflop usually, except that I'm highly susceptible to going on tilt after a a bad beat. Personally, I have to learn to control my emotions and make better post flop decisions. Stop calling down with top pair top kicker when it appears someone has outdrawn me for instance. Thanks for posting my embarrassing stats though, I'm sure everyone who reads this thread will be licking their chops when they see me enter a game...

1. 441 hands is nothing. Win rates based on 441 hands are meaningless. These stats are not embarrassing, just unfortunate.

2. 18.3/7.5 means you are (at least superficially) playing reasonably pre-flop, although, you might consider raising a bit more. (It means you voluntarily play 18.3% of the hands you are dealt (not free looks in the big blind), raising with 7.5% on them.)

3. Calling down with TPTK is almost certianly not a big leak for you.

4. Going on tilt probably is, though.

5. Almost everyone here uses PokerTracker, and with good reason. I do not know much about PokerEdge.

6. Your post-flop play would have to be pretty bad before you would make my buddy list, given your tightness pre-flop.
